Whats a good song for a memorial video?

I had a friend who was 25 yrs old who was murdered a few weeks ago. I told her family that I would make them a slide show of her pictures and I'm having a hard time finding a song that's right for her. Any suggestions?

I'm very sorry about your friend, esspecially being so young... my brother was killed at 26 and 2 very special songs are "time of your life" by Greenday (it's real title is good riddance but dont judge it by its title) another one is Cat Steven's "Oh very young" not sure if thats the correct title though... but google them and take a listen... hope you find the perfect song though. Stay strong

Somewhere Over the Rainbow Louis Armstrong ( or any version of this song), You Raise Me Up, Gentle Women...Google these and listen to them. Sorry for your loss.

how about one of her favorite songs? that could be a memorial in and of itself without having the "mournful" part of it... you was to remember her life and be grateful for the time that you had with her... (of course, this is what i hope people do for me. i don't want people crying because i'm gone, i want them to be glad for the time i was with them.)
